Wednesday night was the Swedish Christmas dinner I had been looking forward to. And I was not disappointed, for it was a success in 3 ways:
1) I had nice talks with the church staff
2) The company during dinner was nice
3) The food was delicious, and looked pretty much like this:

For starters there were:
- Cold cuts: ham, salmon, herring, and cheese.
- Red beet salad and nice sauces, incl. caviar sauce.
- Knäckebröd, toast, nice brown bread
The main / warm dishes were:
- Mash potatoes
- Jansson’s Temptation, an oven dish with potatoes and anchovies.
- The Famous Swedish Meatballs
- Sausages called Prinskorv
And for dessert, there was a delicious ice cake.
To drink, there was glögg, beer, cider, and fläderblomssaft. How Swedish! And apple juice for the kids…
